COMPETITORS
realistic: adult &
bigger target group
Because we don't have Mickey Mouse graphics, it will be easier for us to reach adults and users outside the entertainment industry and maximize our target group.
realistic: modern & adult avatar-system
Our avatar system includes the latest technical developments and strives for graphical realism. We will also offer flirt and adult content as well as business functions.
realistic: integration of more existing content
There are e.g. thousands of photorealistic real estate visualizations that have been made only for the sale of apartments and could be reused by us as virtual homes.
realistic: allows VR shopping integration
Especially manufacturers of products want to present their goods realistically, which is why our claim to realism makes it easier for us to connect their VR shops (we offer a template).
realistic = standard for user content (no mix)
Realism has always been the standard for most 3D models (e.g. www.turbosquid.com)
and ensures that no graphic mix is created despite getting content from different artists.
realistic: allows e.g. product placement
Realistic 3D models are available for almost all products and we can integrate them as product placement. However, this requires a realistic(!) appearance of the environment.
not only VR game - but
interface for all content
connect should become an interface for all digital content. Like a browser, but 3D-capable - the Spatial Web - and for all content & functions and not just webpages.
connect: use cases beside entertainment
connect offers more than just entertainment. Among other things, the integration of numerous media, messenger services, social networks, online shopping and much more.
Advantages of connect's realism
MARKET
2D/3D/AR
$
Product Placement & Ads, Data, Polls: reaches all users
In-App-Purchases: average of all users: $ 8.8 (ARPU)
(focus Asia: +40%) up to $ 550 average per paying user
Location Features & VR Shopping: reaches ~10-30%
Combines the huge user numbers of social networks with the high revenues of games & market places!
TAM 2D/3D: 3,484 billion
SAM 2D/3D: ~2 billion, because all devices, worldwide available, useful for everyone
SOM 2D/3D: ~1 billion, because unique as Multi-Messenger & App-Aggregator
(Competitors don't integrate all messages / news into one chat / feed, but only have tabs to switch between different providers, which has little advantage over using browser tabs and doesn't solve the 10 problems we've shown above.)
Focus on 2D/3D/AR:
-
Web, Android & iOS
-
Multi-Messenger (Must-Have-App)
-
AR Pets & Objects
-
Growth-Hacks
SOM VR: only 3-10 millions, but unique opportunity
VR
Advantages VR:
-
little competition: stores will push us
-
focus PlayStation: ~40 free VR apps
-
and 4 million potential VR users (and 90 million PS4 users for 3D)
-
grow with the market as pioneer
$
VR Store: reaches all VR users & devices
In-App-Purchases: higher ARPU: "build your perfect world
and enjoy it or share it with all your friends (also via 3D)"
Product Placement: more content (e.g. on social places)
VR Shopping: reaches more users in VR (~50-80%)
Location Features: 3D objects as decoration (not only AR)
Taxes & Land Sales: in 2015 alone, Second Life had an estimated GDP of $ 500 millions (similar business model)
Ads, Data & Polls: new chances in VR with low competition
Many business models of the real world can be transferred to the digital, virtual world and are without any competition there. The Spatial Web will replace the 2D Web at the latest with 5G & BCI in the next 10-20 years and connect will play a key role.
*right timing is the key:
having a VR independent value for billions of users gives us the chance to build a huge community in non-VR and - thanks to our 2D/3D/VR/AR live-switch - convert them to new VR users at any time without the need of installing a different app version
GO-TO-MARKET
... become the starting point for VR
2D/3D/AR
VR
collect users & wait for the right timing*
2 Main Markets: Apps & VR
Biggest value of social networks: many other users (cf. FB vs. MySpace)
-> address wide target group
-> all devices, stores & niches
(niches: e.g. mails or SMS on the PlayStation)
-> Multi-Messenger: reach more
people than in Facebook
(because FB and others are integrated)
& solve chicken-egg-problem
of new & empty networks

GROWTH HACKING
PHASE 1: Optimize everything
(1) optimize app experience with tester feedback
(2) release app in all stores for all devices (incl. PS4)
(3) if necessary invest up to € 100k in ASO, SEO, influencers & YouTube to get 30,000 active users
(4) prepare all growth hacking tricks of phase 2
(only programming, low costs) & run small tests
PHASE 2: Turn every user into an influencer
maximize people in each cycle
minimize cycle

... because it is much more fun to start doubling user numbers with 30k than with 6k ...
PHASE 3: Free media reports worldwide
-
wait for the right timing (e.g. VR market or big enough) & get free media reports worldwide (in return for our interface)
-
> 200,000 media contacts + interesting topic + prepared mega stories = last kick to get the snowball rolling
ready to rock? ->
start media support!
5 Tricks to turn every user into an influencer (3 examples):
-
"sent by connect"-link attached in our Multi-Messenger (emails, SMS, FB, WhatsApp, Skype, LinkedIn, etc.) If you suddenly read "sent by connect" everywhere, wouldn't you get curious and ask or click on the link?
-
rewards like limited virtual pets or games for Multi-Messenger-sharings (e.g. media links, 360° videos or screenshots of the virtual home or stickers)
-
mobile: trigger word of mouth with AR pets or games, realistic ring tones (e.g. fall of a coin) & our secret safe
(1) Maximize the number of people every user reaches:
Multi-Messenger-chats with the entire network & sharings
in all other (social) networks to reach hundreds of contacts
(2) Maximize frequency with which users promote connect: different tricks that appeal to different target groups and
work in different setups (e.g. also outdoor), as well as
extremely exciting & rare rewards for unaware promotion
MOST IMPORTANT
REVENUE FORECAST
With 30,000 active users,
we could make profit.
This is our cautious forecast. Hard to believe?
Test your own estimations in our 3-Years-Plan!
SOCIAL IMPACT
Our primary goal? We want to create a data protected alternative for social networks and messengers. A look back at history shows that transparency makes people easy to manipulate and vulnerable.
Especially Virtual Reality makes behavioural observations automatable and should not suffer the same fate as the Internet.
Of course we also have to finance connect, but altruistic goals and making money do not have to conflict with each other. Since our financial success depends almost completely on our user numbers, an unlimited user focus also makes economic sense. That is why we make all decisions dependent on the wishes of our users. Take this as a promise.
Data Protection
Adssd
Data Protection, Privacy, Encryption
Without Option-In we do not collect user data or use them for ads. We will do everything possible to prove maximum privacy & encryption.
No Forced Ads
We will only advertise with the consent of the users and they can earn 50% of our revenue for voluntary big data, surveys or advertising.
Adssd
Free of Charge
connect and all its useful functions will remain free forever. Only playful content without any influence on usefulness can be purchased.
Adssd
Education instead
of Shooters
A "social" network should also assume social responsibility. Without censorship, we want to promote e.g. educational or mental health content.
Adssd
Free VR World
(non-restrictive)
Many of our competitors are building their own restrictive ecosystems, restricting the freedom of users. connect will be completely open.
Addiction Prevention
Fun and addiction are not the same! We will not develop own or integrate foreign content that is excessively using addiction mechanisms.

Freelancers are also welcome!
CHECK-LIST
VR is waiting for "the killer feature". We know what it will be & we are working on it. After signing an NDA we will tell you more about it.
We will develop an AI that searches the Internet for certain content like videos & makes them available in connect completely independently.
We have prepared a story for media that is so exciting that thousands of media will report about us. A bomb, ready to detonate.
extremely
scalable
Adssd
We maximize our target group through (1) a very different selection of integrated, popular content like media, social networks, shopping, games or messengers, (2) maximum customizability for every taste, (3) maximum device support (incl. 2D/3D/VR/AR) and (4) no language barriers and intuitive operation (even for older people). Since we hardly create own content, we can also scale faster. SOM: 3 million VR users (low competition), TAM: 3 billions (2D/3D Smartphone & PC).
very high margin:
€ 30 - 200 ARPU
The optional use in 3D or VR/AR as a virtual world makes connect more intuitive, social (avatar system) and endlessly expandable (e.g. games, shopping, new VR experiences, virtual pets, services or virtual assistants). But it also allows us € 30 - 200 income per user & year through in-app-purchases (e.g. virtual pets, scenes, fun objects, etc.), product placement (brands everywhere) or commission for third-party content (own content store) and VR shops (own template).
5 unique growth
hacking tricks
Adssd
(1) Messages sent to other networks via our Multi-Messenger contain a link to connect. In this way, active users will make all their contacts aware of connect (multiplier effect). We also reward sharings with e.g. unique virtual pets or games. (2) If media partners want to make their content available in connect (e.g. for big data, VR-support and to reach all devices), they must report about us (we have over 200,000 media contacts worldwide). There are 3 more growth hacking tricks - ask us!
low risk &
flexible costs
connect hardly develops its own content (expensive & risky), but primarily makes the most attractive content more easily accessible. It is almost certain that this popular content will also be attractive on other platforms, e.g. on PS4 or in VR/AR. We also have only low maintenance and flexible personnel costs, which could be reduced to € < 100,000 per year after completion of the app. Integration of new content is cheap (or can even be done by partners), but continually increases our value.
great team &
great first traction
Test-release in a smaller VR-store in January: Popularity rank 15 out of 1700 VR apps after 6 weeks. Only organic: 40,000+ downloads in total. All major store releases (and their potential) are still pending. Together as a team, we 3 co-founders have 30+ years of experience as software & game developers (10+ with VR) & developed 20+ own games that reached half a million of users. We are all serial entrepreneurs and own(ed) more than 10 companies with over € 50 millions in revenue.
stable unique
selling points
Used on the smartphone connect could become a must-have-app for billions of users because of its unique Multi-Messenger-features (USPs: one chat history per contact that summarizes all messages from all communication services and the same for social network postings). It's also unique as device-independent 3D/VR capable new interface for all types of digital content and offers a revolutionary avatar-system (social VR). In the long term, we will at least be able to keep our privacy USP.
new fast growing
market (VR)
VR enables the perfect, lucid dreams and connect strives for maximum immersion. Thanks to AI (which will create VR worlds independently), 5G & cloud computing, 3D interfaces & VR/AR will replace the Internet & the PC in the next 10-20 years (at the latest with BCI). connect could become the provider-, VR- & device-independent, data-protected starting point into this new virtual world and thus adopt the business models of Amazon, Google, Microsoft & Facebook in the VR area.
independent from
VR (also 2D/3D)
connect also works in 2D or 3D on every device (TAM: 3 billions) and therefore makes our success independent of the still small VR market (~3-10 millions). In contrast to our VR-only competition (with no non-VR use cases), we can thus build a much larger user base, which can switch to VR or AR without restarting the app at anytime! We can wait for the perfect timing while we increase our user base and then use our growth hacking tricks like free media coverage to conquer the market.
